Geek Craft: Learn to Knit III

Once more with feeling! Whether you've never held yarn in your life, or you're a beginner looking for some tips and tricks, come on down to La Fontana Caffe and we'll get you started! Pretty soon you too could be giving away adorable little hand-knit daleks, or sporting a stylish new Slytherin scarf.

We'll start with basic instruction on Casting On, and have everyone doing rows of garter stitch by the end of the afternoon. Kate will bring some scrap yarn and a few pairs of spare needles, but if you want to take your project home to continue learning, you'll want to bring your own. Feel free to leave a comment if you'd like advice or suggestions on what/where to buy materials. If you've been meaning to learn how to knit, now's your chance!

Even if you already know how to knit, this event is open to every one, come on out to Nerd HQ headquarters and work on your own project and enjoy the company of your fellow nerds.

As alwasy, never feel that you have to work on the project of the day, feel free to come out and work on any project of your choosing.

Also this evening is Nerd HQ's weekly Dinner & Death event, if you plan on attending this event, please RSVP separately in that event itself.

We're about:

Would you classify yourself as a geek or a nerd? Do you like science fiction and fantasy, movies and TV, comic books and board games, cosplay, and any of the other wonderfulness that the "muggles" might classify as weird? Are you looking to make new friends or re-connect with some old ones who share these similar interests?

Do like watching movies and TV with like minded people. How about crafting projects, knitting or crochet or needlepoint? Would you like to have a Family style dinners where the conversation topics includes Zombies, Aliens and Superheroes? Do you ever find yourself spontaneously breaking out in song?

Nerd HQ is supportive of all geekdom out there! Join in and become “one of us” as we venture forth and immerse ourselves in the vast field of nerdery. Many of our members have found some really true and great friends by coming out to events. Nerd HQ knows it can be hard to meet new people so we are pretty low key and friendly. You can engage with people as much or as little as you would like, just sit down with the group and either listen in to conversation or join in. It's up to you how much you would like to participate as you get to know other members and make friends.

Any suggestions for events or activities are welcomed and appreciated. See you at Headquarters!
